I'd noticed him becoming like a balloon over the past days so I took him to
the vet today, thinking he could have obstipation. Well, he didn't..... He's
full of fluid so they can't feel anything or take X-rays. He had to stay
there for the whole afternoon for an extensive examination and I just picked
him up.
His kidney and liver values are good (at least for the CRF-cat that he is),
and his heart is good too. The vet has given him an injection to let him
get rid of the fluid and he has to come back tomorrow so they can try to
find out what's wrong. This doesn't sound good, as the next possibility can
hardly be anything else than a tumor :-(

While this doesn't sound good, there could be any number of reasons for
fluid build-up, that are not caused by a tumor.

Purrs that this is true for Tiger.
